Based on your answers, you have unique strengths as a parent—and areas where small, intentional shifts can make a big difference.
Look back at your answers and count how many of each letter you chose most often:
Mostly A's
You lean toward Authoritative/ Intentional Parenting (Balanced & Purposeful)
You're parenting these early years with grace and purpose. You're laying a beautiful foundation of security, faith, and healthy rhythms. These years matter, and God sees your faithful investment in your child's earliest days!
Mostly B's
You lean toward Authoritarian Parenting (Strict & Rule-Focused)
You value structure and doing things "right" from the start. While consistency is important with babies and toddlers, remember that these years are also about nurturing attachment and trust. God parents us with both truth and tenderness-especially in our infancy.
Mostly C's
You lean toward Permissive / Comfort-Focused Parenting (Loving but Loose)
Your heart is overflowing with love for your little one. God has given you such compassion! Adding gentle boundaries and biblical structure even in these early years will help your child feel even more secure as they grow.
Mostly D's
You're in Reactive/Survival Mode Parenting
You're in the trenches of the hardest years, and you're exhausted. God sees you, mama. You're not failing-you're overwhelmed. There is hope and rest available, and small intentional steps can bring peace to your home.
Mixed Results?
That's completely normal! Most parents blend different styles depending on the situation, their stress level, or which child they're dealing with. God doesn't expect perfection—He invites you to partner with Him in growing as a parent.
